You're cutting out some of the best years DC ever had. I'll second everything Simon sez, with the addition that those proto-Vertigo books (Swamp Thing, Doom Patrol, Animal Man, Black Orchid) are just as good or better. Plus, there's also the Helfer-Baker Shadow run, Alans Grant & Davis on Detective, and about a

THE BADGER. That was some seriously ahead of its time/totally of its time "quirky groundlevel superhero" stuff.

Funny thing is, the best dip to go with sweet potato fries (especially if they're spicy) is honey.

Cool! Probably my biggest disappointment with Wolf Among Us was that ditched its procedural exploration elements almost immediately, and that it's something their gameplay style could actually be good at. I'm heartened to hear that it's returned with a vengeance (and the night, and Batman).

It is definitely the most Ozu of any Kurosawa I've seen.

Don't do it!

I love that movie. It's unusually prosaic and low-stakes for Kurosawa, but it's tender and unguarded in a way he doesn't often do.

I can't take it anymore - I've just gotta know What Did You Watch Last Night (or Over the Weekend)?!

Ooosh. Not so goatporky as I'd prefer. Art directors at Wizards should always urge their staff to ask themselves, when faced with these Lower Dudes, "Is this metal enough?"

Is Orcus still around in 5e?

New Orleans.

I read Spook, and found it annoyingly glib and
shallow; Roach brought up all kinds of fascinating material and did
little more than pat them on the head with quips. To anyone who's gone
further with her work - does her writing improve significantly?

That Mini car chase is really excellent. It's beautifully edited, and is one of the best uses of the twisty little passages of Old World streets in a chase I've seen.

One of the many reasons she's so crucial to that first movie is how minimal, yet perfectly clear, the building of her character is. Even though in her dialogue she never outright states, "I'm a vagabond free spirit trying to find excitement and meaning across the Continent", you get all that through just her actions

In my head I always consider The Hiketeia as the official start of the Rucka run, even though technically it isn't. I certainly would recommend (and have, in the past) starting with it, or even just reading that if nothing else (though I would always urge readers to get at least up through Eyes of the Gorgon).

Ghost World is a tone piece; it's not a full, mature work like Clowes has gone on to accomplish. Though it's slight, it really does hit a very particular note particularly well - but that had better be a note that means something to you, otherwise there isn't much else to latch on to.

My recommendations, as a Wondy fan:

I love love love that matrix.

I also bemoan the lack of audio drama's presence even in the ever-expanding universe of podcasts. I think it's because the radio play had been more or less dead for too long by the time podcasts exploded, and the cultural demand for stories to listen to were instead fulfilled by audiobooks and things like Night Vale,

THEY GOT DURANT, TOO
